I'm not sure how accurate the data is - but even if its 75% correct we have a huge upgrade on that Wooolwich player 1

Playing for Leipzig in the Bundesliga and playing for Palace in the CL are not the same thing

Plus those stupid snowflake charts aren't consistent, that website just lets you cherry-pick stats to include. I just completely ignore those now.

Simons is a good player though! And suits what we need. We've averted disaster!

You’d think this would be obvious. You can think Simon’s is better (he definitely arguably is just by eye test!) but comparing their numbers in leagues of very different quality playing for much different teams is very stupid.

Playing for Palace in the CL is way more difficult, dare I say impossible

Palace are in the Conference league and Eze didn't kick a ball before turncoating

It's manipulated data. Simons is compared to midfielders and Eze to attacking midfielders and wingers. And the stats are mostly attacking based.

Whoever made this knew what they were doing and manipulated it to fit their need. Hate that shit.

Paulina for me was signing of the transfer window.

So far...

If he and Kudus continue the way they've started, and Simon's hits the ground running, it could be a 3 way tie. TBH though, if Palhinha is one of the main reasons we can halves our goals against, I'll agree with you 100% As good as buying in a £100M striker for our GD.

Where has the Ake thing even come from?
Media is reporting Akanji.

 

[Art Vandelay]

Our first game after the window closed in Ange's first season was away to Burnley.

Son; Solomon, Maddison, Kulusevski; Bissouma, Sarr; Porro, VDV, Romero, Udogie; Vicario
Skipp, PEH, Sanchez, Richarlison, Royal, Perisic, Forster, Davies, Phillips.

5 starters aren't in the mix for this weekend. Two no longer at the club. Nearly the whole bench is not at the club anymore.

Bentancur, Bergvall, Johnson, Odobert, Danso, Kinsky, Spence, Gray, Palhinha, Kudus, Simons, Tel, Solanke. With Dragusin soon to return is overall quite a serious net improvement over just two years ago.

Our boy Himothy mentioned it then I think a few journos picked it up (not necessarily from him).

That’s not really what came up when you googled ‘Dutch Dwarf’ is it?

It probably spell checked dwarf into rudder...

Piss on the parade why don't you.

In my mind he is Hoddle reborn, our new no.7 hero, a legend already, away with your negativity!

Isn't he a child making out he's a journo? Someone literally went back through his posts and found some about him sitting his GCSE's

Think that account is known for mainly posting ragebaiting nonsense.

 

[Tottenham Massive]

Call me greedy, but I really want Savinho aswell. Get him, and I seriously think we can get carried away on what we could possibly do this season.

Think Monday, maybe City change stance when alternatives become available to them.

Click to shrink...

Not greedy at all. Savinho and one or two others should be what a club in our position should be aiming for.

Most people are sceptical, but I've been listening to him since he called the Bergvall injury and I think he may have some info. As with any ITK, I take it with a grain of salt.
